صد

1 صَدَّ عَنْهُ, (S, M, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (S, M, A) and صَدِّ, (M,) the latter only agreeable with analogy, (MF,) [but the former, which is the more common, explainable on the ground that وَجْهَهُ or the like is understood,] inf. n. صُدُودٌ (S, M, A, K) and صَدٌّ, (M,) He turned away from, avoided, shunned, and left, him, or it; he was averse from him, or it; (S, M, A, Msb, K;) he turned away his face from him [or it]: (Ham p. 89:) and صَدَّهُ also, aor. ـُ inf. n. صَدٌّ, he forsook him, and turned away his face from him. (L.) One says, أَرَى فِيكَ صُدُودًا [I see in thee aversion]. (A.) And لَا صَدَّ عَنْ ذَاكَ [lit. There is no evading that], meaning truly thou didst that. (Lh, M.) صَدَّ السَّبِيلُ (tropical:) [The road, or way, turned aside] is said when a difficult road up a mountain, (A, L,) or some other obstacle, (A,) presents itself before thee, and thou leavest it, and takest another way. (A, L.) b2: And صَدَّهُ عَنْهُ, (S, M, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) inf. n. صَدٌّ; (S, Msb, K;) and ↓ اصدّهُ, (S, M, K,) inf. n. إِصْدَادٌ; (TA;) and ↓ صدّدهُ; (M;) He averted him; turned him, or sent him, away, or back; or caused him to return, or go back, or revert; from it: (S, M, Msb, K:) prevented, or hindered, him from doing it: (S, A, Msb, K:) or did so by gentle means: and so ضَدَّهُ.

أَظْفَارِى, which is originally قَصَّصْتُ; (T, TA;) and صَدَّى بِيَدَيْهِ; (TA in art. صدى;) He clapped with his hands; (T, M, K;) because, in the action of clapping the hands together, the صَدّ, i. e. “ face,” of one hand fronts that of the other; or, accord. to Aboo-Jaafar Er-Rustamee, التَّصْدِيَةُ is from صَدًى meaning “ a sound ” [or “ an echo ”]; but the former derivation is the more probable: (TA:) [see art. صدى:] also he raised his voice, or called out, or cried out. (M, TA.) It is said in the Kur [viii. 35], وَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِنَدْ الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا مُكَآءً وَتَصْدِيَةً And their prayer at the House [of God] is nought but whistling, and clapping with the hands: (M, * TA:) meaning, they do thus instead of praying as they have been commanded to do.

لِلْمَعْرُوفِ وَطَلَبَهُ He addressed himself, or applied himself, to obtain favour, or bounty; and sought it; syn. تَعَرَّضَ لَهُ [and تَبَرَّى له]. (Msb in art. عرض.)

[of pauc.] أَصْدَادٌ and [of mult.] صُدُودٌ. (TA.) And ↓ صَدٌّ (L) and ↓ صَدَدٌ (M, L) signify [in like manner] A side; a lateral, or an adjacent, part, quarter, tract, or the like; syn. of the former جَانِبٌ, (L,) and of the latter نَاحِيَةٌ.

(K.) And هٰذَا صَدَدَ هٰذَا, and بِصَدَدِهِ, This is in front of, or opposite to, this.
